[Woike] Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been diagnosed with a grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain. Austin will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.
So that means he’ll miss the game cutoff for All NBA and other awards.
Welp
Luka and lebrons minutes are going to be really high unless we’re getting blown out
Play in team now…
Time to tank for lotto pick
Tank for AJ Dyabatsa
Worse comes to worst we have our 2026 first round pick. We need cheap young athletic talent
aj dybansa welcome to the lakers
We’re cooked
Get well soon Austin.
Someone has to step up in his absence.
That’s a small tear so they have to be super careful so probably we wont see him until the All-star break….so around 6 weeks. Ya this could get ugly fast
Cam Boozer you are a laker
Reaves was the ONLY reason we were winning games. We are gonna feel his absence these next four weeks
“I felt a great disturbance in the fandom, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly wanting trades”
Yall saying tank but we won too many games already
Yup we about to free fall down the standings.
Dayumm.
Austin fits in way more lineups than bron/luka, whatever you think of his talent level. Bout to get real ugly boys.
See you at the play ins.
That’s so hard to deal with. Having his best season and has this setback. That’s going to be tough to deal with mentally
Clearly he came back too soon.
What is the deal with Christmas calf injuries?! Luka last year now AR
And there’s go AR’s All-star nod and MIP award
Ever since Kobe tore his achilles, the lakers best players usually get hurt when they are playing at a high level.
So anyone wanna talk about how this team is being overworked? And you guys wanna talk about defense or effort?
NOOOOOOOO 4 weeks😭
i don’t wanna see him missing all star😢he should be there
Rushed him back for no reason gj medical team
fuck rest up my goat.
dang he was playing like an all star and all nba shoe in. now it’s over w.w
Thing is the Lakers still won’t be bad enough to get a high draft pick. At the worst they are in the Suns, Warriors, Portland tier in the standing without AR.
honestly just tank silver will rig top 3 for us
Season over🥀🥀


This sucks. AR won’t get his All Star appearance. We are still too good to end up in a lottery with one of the easiest schedules in Western Conference. We’ll end up as 5 or 6 seed and get swept in first round again.
why did our medical team clear his return?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO I am actually so devasted rn and even more sad for Austin 🙁 he was playing so amazing and on track for his first all star. This is so fucking sad, but hoping for a speedy and full recovery 🙏🙏🙏

Season is over.
The Lakers’ Christmas Dreams just because the Nightmare After Christmas.
GGs everyone
Well, it was a very interesting good start to the season. Oh well.
LeBron will be off the books soon and then we’ll see what we can do.
Now the select minority of fans can stop blaming reaves and i guess clutch sports got they want sorry, I should say rich paul
I mean half this sub thinks he sucks anyway so shouldn’t matter but yeah this sucks big time
Fuck I wanted AR to become an all star.
Damn it. We’ll definitely miss him playing. I am even more bummed he wont get to be an all star.

So does this mean he is a trade piece or isn’t a trade piece lol
